What Is Facial Cosmetic Surgery?

Facial cosmetic surgery, which is sometimes called facial plastic surgery or facial aesthetic surgery, is a surgical discipline focused on improving the appearance of the face. This is in contrast to cosmetic facial reconstruction surgery, in which there has been a prior insult or trauma to the face. Many different types of procedures, summarized below, constitute facial cosmetic surgery.

Certain facial features or proportions can invite a negative social response. This can then further impact upon the psychological state of an individual. People may withdraw from social interactions and have lower levels of self-esteem. Attractive individuals tend to have higher self-esteem and greater academic as well as occupational satisfaction. Luckily, facial cosmetic surgery options can help those who struggle to accept their facial appearance.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Cosmetic Surgery?

People who become interested in facial cosmetic surgery stem from two main categories:

  • Inherited facial features – These are characteristics that we are born with and grow up with. They shape our early development and contribute to how others see us and treat us. Some people with certain physical traits experience ridicule and bullying while others are looking to achieve a certain refined aesthetic based on personal preference.
  • Age-acquired facial features – As we age, the effects of gravity and volume loss cause many facial changes, such as jowls or a droopy nasal tip. People may be at the peak of their career and want to refresh their look to stay productive and successful. Others do not recognize themselves in the mirror and look much older than they feel.

It is important to understand the potential shortcomings of facial plastic surgery options. Surgery may raise your self-esteem but it will not fix every life’s problem. It is also important to realize that facial cosmetic surgery is not meant to make you look like somebody else, including a celebrity. Instead, it is meant to enhance your existing face.

What Is the Cost of Facial Cosmetic Surgery in New York?

The cost of facial cosmetic surgery is often not covered by insurance and is a combination of a surgeon’s fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fee. These are sometimes reported as a combined fee in certain offices and other times broken down into their components in other offices. The actual cost of a particular facial cosmetic or facial plastic surgery will vary by location, surgeon experience and demand, along with the anticipated complexity of the surgery.

What Is the Difference Between Facial Cosmetic Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery?

Facial plastic surgery can include cosmetic or reconstructive procedures on the face. Facial cosmetic surgery refers more specifically to aesthetic, or cosmetic, procedures performed on the face. These terms are often used interchangeably. All facial surgeries are in some way cosmetic in that because the face is always on display, a surgeon operating on the face needs to consider the effect on cosmesis with every procedure.

Who Performs Facial Cosmetic Surgery?

The following types of specialists may be qualified to perform facial cosmetic surgery (though certain specialists will usually focus on specific facial cosmetic surgeries that relate to their training):

  • Plastic surgeons (general)
  • Facial plastic surgeons
  • Cosmetic surgeons (general)
  • Oral surgeons

I’ll start to say that my experience with dr. Gary Linkov was amazing. He is very warm and tender, listens carefully to what you want done. When it comes to your face, you just can’t trust any doctor, however I made a great choice with him, and I dont regret it. Procedure went smooth and painless. He makes you feel calm. I trusted him the whole time with my lip lift . Thank you so much dr. Linkov…also his assistant and his coordinator Bianca. Great team. I recommend this place 100%.
